I have too many journals. I have said it before and I am sure I will say it again too. However, I have been minimising my journal process. I am in the middle of a productive roll and part of that is down to actually sorting out what goes where and how.

The most important thing I have done is to make sure I only have one list. Now I love lists as much as I love tea, coffee and the soul of punk. To have one list has been, no, is a challenge. But it is working.

Anyway, I now have specific journals for specific projects but only one journal, my bullet journal in my Midori, has a to do / next action list. I still have a long, long way to go in curtailing my journal habit, but I am on the way… not. Why not take a look.

I have a word for November. When I say a word, I mean more of a theme. It’s ‘complete’. Last month was ‘Let go’. I did that. Now it is time to ‘complete’.

I have a habit of starting things, getting bored, and then moving on. If I understand correctly it is something to do with my personality type (MBTI), or my team type (Belbin), but it might also be down to a particular constellation in a particular house. Perhaps I am just lazy.

But November will be different. I have set out my intentions, began the work and am nearing completion on several projects already.

One of the big things I need to sort is my journal pile. If you’ve been following my YouTube channel you’ll know that I am getting into all sorts of tangles with it. So I have begun to sort that out. A new video will be up soon but I wanted to post here first. Like all good minimalists, who are also journaling addicts, means one of the first steps in sorting out my journals was to begin a new one. Above is my new blog plan journal, a Leuchtturm1917 ruled A5 notebook.

It’s all part of my plan to ‘complete’ this month. Now I had best get on with it.
